Subject: [PATCH v2] misc: sgi-gru: use explicitly signed char

With char becoming unsigned by default, and with `char` alone being
ambiguous and based on architecture, signed chars need to be marked
explicitly as such. This fixes warnings like:

drivers/misc/sgi-gru/grumain.c:711 gru_check_chiplet_assignment() warn: 'gts->ts_user_chiplet_id' is unsigned
